No one talks about the proper chemical storage and hazardous materials until it is far too late.
As was the case with a recent string of chemical fires in south Texas, calls for action and revisiting proper safety protocol has unfortunately come with a steep price. At least one worker was killed during the most recent fire at the KMCO plant. A subsequent rekindling of another plant fire reignited national conversations about the proper management of hazardous material. You can check out original coverage of the catastrophe here.
US Hazmat Rentals allow for proper storage
In addition to potential life altering injuries to several workers, area residents were also forced to contend with ominous plumes of black smoke pillowing into the blue Texas skyline.
As particulates saturated the atmosphere, dazed residents have begun wondering at what price does industry come with when risks to human health and the environment are put in perilous condition.
A kneejerk style reaction is far too common when disasters such as these happen. While policymakers are quick to point fingers in a galvanizing call-to-arms aimed to target lax safety regulations, this does little to change the fact that immense human and environmental suffering has taken place.
Although it is far too early in the investigation of the fires to pinpoint human error as the cause, proper storage and protection of hazardous materials is a conversation that shouldn’t come with a caveat.
Chemical storage units when expecting the unexpected
Some natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornadoes are unavoidable. Humanity, as a result, must do its best to contend with the aftermath and remain vigilant in future planning to mitigate the effects of further fallout.
Other disasters, however, could have been prevented with the initial proper storage of hazardous materials.
U.S Hazmat Rentals has heeded these calls for safety by introducing an industry-leading line of chemical storage buildings that are up to the task of preventing explosive materials from making an already dire situation worse.
